This Primitive Pumpkin Scarecrow measures 9 3/4" tall and is based on a T.F.C. Folk art pattern. The base is a vintage wooden block with the letter "J" on it....for Jack! His outfit is made from wool and he has two tiny rusty bells for eyes.

I just love taking a day trip and getting out outdoors in touch with nature!! We are planning on taking a little camping trip soon and went to Kankakee State Park to check out the campground and the area. It is such a beautiful area and I just wanted to share some pics I took.

I just love these last three pics of a farm. They look awesome in black and white!!

I will be listing a few items in a little while that will be for sale. Hope you stop back and visit!!

is here, lol! Well, when we planted our garden this year we did not plant any pumpkins. We planted some cucumbers and zucchini by our back fence and thought to ourselves....what was this plant that was growing next to the fence and asked each other if the other had planted it. We both said no...we did not plant anything next to the fence and let it grow to see what it was and low and behold it turned out to be a pumpkin!!! Once we realized it was a pumpkin, my husband said he threw last years Fall pumpkins into the garden and must have tilled the seed this spring. We have a small sized garden and never planted pumpkins before so I was excited!! Yes, I get excited easy, lol! The plant has produced two small sized pumpkins...the one in the picture is turning orange and the other is just starting to turn. I cannot wait until I can place then on my front porch. I think next year we will include them in our garden!

It has been so hot here lately with temps in the 90's. Next week it is supposed to cool down a bit with less humidity. I am excited about Fall being around the corner but also enjoy the Summer weather and our swimming pool!!

With thinking about Fall, I have created my Pumpkin Harvest Filled Piggin! I filled this distressed reproduction piggin and filled it with some raffia on the bottom and added some dried corn cobs and husks and a round head primitive Pumpkin stump doll. This Harvest piggin can hang on a wall or be placed anywhere in your prim home for a great Fall display! All items are placed in the piggin and not glued down.

Primitive Harvest PigginSOLD ~ THANK YOU!!!

Our garden suffered from a couple heavy rains we had here this year and from a new resident that lives in my flower garden....Mr. Bun Bun!! I love rabbits and we usually have a few babies in the Spring that go their own way after a while, but this one must love it here and decided to stay, lol. We had to replant our green beans twice (we finally just picked two batches!) and gave up after having to replanting our sugar snap peas. He ate those babies to the ground!

In honor of our furry little friend, I have created Herman And Petunia from a Pineberry Lane pattern. They are made from painted and grungy muslin and measure 11" tall X 17" wide.

SOLD!! Thank you!!
